A BI platform for 47,000
analysts who aren't analysts.

给 4.7 万非分析师
用的 BI 平台

DeepInsight is the analytics and insight platform behind data-driven operations at Ant Group and Alibaba. Its users range from BI analysts to product teams building 360° dashboards to operations staff who just need one number. I was the platform's experience designer for two and a half years, working from two directions at once: behavior data to fix what people felt, and a system view to stop the platform from drowning in requests.DeepInsight 是支撑蚂蚁集团与阿里集团数据化运营决策的分析洞察平台。用户从 BI 分析师,到搭建 360 看板的产品团队,再到只想看一个数字的运营小二。我担任平台体验设计师两年半,同时从两个方向推进:用行为数据修正用户的感受,用全局视角让平台不被需求淹没。

DeepInsight positioning: user pyramid and the prepare → build → analyze workflow
Positioning: one platform, a pyramid of users, and a three-step workflow (prepare data → build reports → analyze and decide).定位:一个平台,一座用户金字塔,三步工作流(准备数据 → 制作报表 → 分析决策)。
The tension矛盾

Power users wanted more. Everyone else wanted less.

重度用户要更多,其他所有人要更少

The business goal was explicit: serve BI analysts and operations staff, support fast 360° dashboard building, and be pleasant to use. The interviews said something harder. Analysts: "If DI doesn't support this chart, we'll build our own." Product teams: "We can't wait, we'll design it ourselves." Operations staff, by far the largest circle on the chart: "Too complex. The jargon is hard. Where is the analysis entry for my product?"业务目标很明确:既服务 BI 分析师,也服务运营小二,支持 360 看板高效搭建,还要好用。访谈里的话更扎心。分析师:「DI 再不支持这些分析能力,我们就不用了。」产品团队:「业务等不了了,我们先自己开发设计。」而在图上圆圈最大的运营小二说:「这些功能太复杂,专业术语难理解,各个产品的分析入口不一致,找不到在哪里。」

The design problem, restated: a single interface that scales from "one number" to "custom analysis" without making either group feel like a second-class user. That cannot be solved feature by feature. It needs data about who does what, and a system that absorbs requests instead of stacking them.重新表述设计问题:一套界面要从「看一个数字」平滑扩展到「自定义分析」,且不让任何一方觉得自己是二等用户。这不可能一个功能一个功能地解决。它需要关于「谁在做什么」的数据,以及一个能吸收需求而不是堆叠需求的系统。

Two strategies: a data lens on user experience, and a system lens on platform analysis specifications
Two strategies, one goal. Left: the data lens. Right: the system lens. Each intersects design, engineering and business analysis.两个对策,一个目标。左:数据视角。右:全局视角。每一个都落在设计、工程与商业分析的交集上。
Strategy A · the data lens对策 A · 数据视角

Design the experience from behavior, not opinions.

行为数据而不是意见出发做体验

01

One role-and-behavior map for the whole product team一张给整个产品团队的角色行为大图

I instrumented and mapped what each role actually did inside the product, from first login to a published dashboard, and turned it into a single shared map. It became the product team's common picture of the user, and the reference for deciding which requests were about a real bottleneck versus a loud voice.我梳理并绘制了每种角色在产品内的真实动线,从首次登录到发布看板,汇成一张全团队共用的大图。它成为产品团队对用户的共同认知,也是判断一个需求究竟是真实瓶颈还是嗓门大的依据。

02

Four surveys designed to be comparable, not just informative四次可比较、而不只是有信息量的用户调研

Each survey used the same core scale for satisfaction and self-reported difficulty, so that results could be compared across quarters and across roles. The point was not to learn "what users want" once; it was to build a measurement that would keep telling us whether the last release helped.每次问卷都使用相同的满意度与主观难度核心量表,让结果可以跨季度、跨角色比较。目的不是一次性知道「用户想要什么」,而是建立一把持续告诉我们「上一个版本有没有帮上忙」的尺子。

03

Experience monitoring reports that feed the roadmap回写进产品规划的体验监测报告

Two monitoring reports translated the data into concrete planning actions: which analysis paths to add guidance to, which configuration flows to simplify, where the help-request spikes were. Engineers got to see how the experience moved, and the design team's proposals carried numbers instead of adjectives.两份体验监测报告把数据翻译成具体的规划动作:哪些分析路径要加引导、哪些配置流程要简化、求助高峰出现在哪里。工程同学看到了体验的变化曲线,设计团队的提案也从形容词变成了数字。

Turn 25 requests a month into one spec.

把每月 25 个需求收敛成一套规范

As the underlying analytics platform, DI received requests from multiple business lines, each with its own product managers, front-end teams and data teams. Similar asks arrived in different words. Custom components were expensive and tied to specific data. The platform's experience lost consistency with every one-off. The way out was to stop answering requests one at a time.作为底层分析能力平台,DI 面对多个业务线的需求,每一条线都有自己的产品、前端和数据团队。相似的诉求用不同的话反复到来,定制组件成本高且绑定特定数据,每一次一次性方案都让平台体验更不一致。出路是不再一个一个地回答需求。

01

Decompose page-level requests into atomic needs把页面级需求拆解为原子需求

Every "we need a dashboard for X" was broken down into chart-level, component-level and interaction-level atoms. At that resolution, three product lines asking for three different pages were usually asking for the same six components.每一个「我们需要一个 X 看板」都被拆成图表级、组件级和交互层的原子需求。在这个粒度上,三条产品线要的三个不同页面,通常其实是同样的六个组件。

02

Reassemble them along the user's cognition, not the org chart沿用户认知、而不是组织架构重新组合

Atomic needs were reorganized into the sequence a person actually moves through: data → authoring state → reading state → analysis state → insight. Each state got its own requirements (findability and capability while authoring; clarity while reading; comparison, drill-down and linkage while analyzing). Chart-level needs were classified as chart family × analysis purpose × priority.原子需求按人真实经历的顺序重新组织:数据 → 制作态 → 阅读态 → 分析态 → 洞见。每个状态有自己的要求(制作时的可找到、有能力;阅读时的清楚;分析时的对比、下钻与联动)。图表级需求则按「图表大类 × 分析目的 × 需求优先级」分类。

Cognition model: data, authoring, reading, analysis, insight

One chart-card spec, PC and mobile, then an eight-month program to land it一套 PC 与移动端通用的图表卡片规范,再用八个月专项落地

Using charts as the first proving ground, I consolidated the atoms into a single chart-card specification: title, filters, time granularity, linkage, metric switching, pagination, and the mobile counterpart of each. I then initiated a visual-analysis program (from October 2020) with a 38-person cross-functional team to upgrade components, chart capabilities and page templates against the spec.以图表为第一块试验田,我把原子需求整合成一套图表卡片规范:标题、筛选、时间粒度、联动、指标切换、分页,以及每一项在移动端的对应形态。随后我发起可视分析专项(2020 年 10 月起),与 38 人的跨职能团队按规范升级组件、图表能力与页面模板。

If a chart can be prioritized, it can be read aloud.

图表既然能分优先级,就能被读出来

A fund-detail page in Alipay is dense: a headline return, a performance line chart, historical tables, analysis indicators, holdings. For visually impaired users, "read the whole page" is useless and "read nothing" is worse. I took the same decomposition method from the platform work and applied it to accessibility: split the page into blocks, rank every element as constant / high / optional / low, and let that ranking become the narration order. The user can then choose full-page narration, single-chart narration, or jump to a decision (buy, schedule, pause, exit) at any time.支付宝的基金详情页信息密度很高:收益率、业绩走势折线图、历史表格、分析指标、持仓。对视障用户,「读整页」没用,「什么都不读」更糟。我把平台工作里的拆解方法用到无障碍上:把页面拆成区块,把每个元素标为 constant / high / optional / low,让这个优先级直接成为播报顺序。用户可以选择整页播报、单图播报,或随时跳到决策动作(买入、定投、暂停、退出)。

The chart itself got a narration rule too: hover reads x; hold reads x with y1, y2, y3; fast hover samples the trend. Information priority is the bridge between a visual chart and a spoken one.图表本身也有播报规则:hover 读 x,长按读 x 与 y1、y2、y3,快速滑动则抽样播报趋势。信息优先级是视觉图表与语音图表之间的那座桥。

Inclusive chart design: information priority mapped to narration order for a fund detail page

"Serve the business with a data lens and an engineering mindset, and keep pushing design toward the value it can create on its own initiative."「以数据可视化视角和工程化思维,积极推进和探索设计能为商业主动带来的价值。」
